The debate over whether studying in
group
 is superior to studying alone has long been in question and educational experts are deeply divided over
this
 issue. From an objective perspective, I’m strongly convinced that both methods have their own superiorities. One of the major superiorities of
group
 study is that it provides an environment in which students can exchange ideas with each other. It is well known fact that knowledge knows no bounds, so it is almost impossible for even an eminent professor at

 to have a good command of everything, let alone an ordinary student.
Consequently
, students should be divided into different groups or classes so that they can communicate with, learn from and help each other. Another obvious advantage of studying in

 is that students have the opportunity to learn to socialize with others. Many sociologists point out that people in modern society are more isolated than those in ancient

 with others. Under
such
 circumstances, it is unreasonable to deprive the students of the chance to socialize by arranging them to study alone.
However
, we should not ignore the fact that studying alone

 has its unique merit-effectiveness. In a large class, top students might feel bored because the teacher does not give them adequate material to learn whereas poor students might feel just the opposite because the teacher gives them too many materials to digest.
In other words
, the teacher usually slows down the rate of progress or reduces the content of his lesson in the light of students with lower ability. Comparing the benefits of both sides, I deem

the group study
 more effective only if the class or

 is not too big.
